This came through to me in an email and I thought it was great. I’ve always said that we can learn a lot from dogs. Sorry, I don’t know who wrote the original story but it is something to think about.
======================
A Dog’s Purpose (from a 6-year-old).
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

I’ve been in a weird mood lately. Maybe it is because of Halloween or that another Christmas is coming up but for some reason, a thought popped into my head. Despair. Complete and utter Dispair.
Years ago, Dispair.com was one of my favourite sites. A friend of mine would always buy my Christmas gifts from that site but I hadn’t visited it for a long time. I wondered if it was still going. Sure enough, it is.
If you don’t want to check out Despair.com, I’ve highlighted some of my favourites here. Of course, you really should see the pictures that go with these ‘demotivators’ but you’ll get the gist.
RISKS
If you never try anything new, you’ll miss out on many of life’s great disappointments.
PROBLEMS
No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you’ve probably only seen the tip of them
PERSEVERANCE
The courage to ignore the obvious wisdom of turning back.

Daredevil pup Stanley attracts more than a few stares when he goes for a ‘walk’ in his miniature Spitfire. Passers-by might think the four month old wire-haired fox terrier is crazy, but he loves donning his flying hat, goggles and jacket for a spin reports the Metro.
Owners Phil and Sharon Cook, both in their 40s, mocked up the miniature plane for a Halloween party, but Stanley enjoyed it so much that they can be seen trundling around the streets near their home in Leigh, Essex. Mrs Cook added, ‘Stanley loves it. We decided to go for a Spitfire as a nod towards Remembrance Day. He is content to sit in the cockpit and watch the world go by.’
The plane is made from an old holdall attached to a skateboard, while Stanley’s flying hat is fashioned from an old cuddly toy.
